This doesn’t mean anything to me but the message that your natural hair should be hidden from the public. When they stop wearing those weaves and walk out their door with natural hair, is when I think there has been a movement of celebrities having and wearing the hair God gave them.

Brandy’s hair looks FANTASTIC. Real? Not sure. I suspect it’s a weave from the “weavologist”, Kim Kimble. Of all the stars pictured, she is the only one who has never acknowledged being natural. Looks great, though.

I agree with you, what’s the point of hidden the beauty of your natural hair. Protective styles are good but it’s like an everyday thing for most of them. Let me see some of them rock their natural hair on the red carpet or some important events.

Tarahji P. Henson and she wears hers out pretty often. I also agree with the previous posters who say why highlight these women just because the hair the wear under their regular weaves is natural. But thanks for sharing…

I understand the sentiments some have about their hair being hidden often so being recognized for having natural hair should not happen BUT think about this: if you were a celebrity and were actively involved in situations where your natural hair had to be manipulated into a new style multiple times a week or even everyday, would you be ok with that? For some, the weaves may be a crutch, but for others it is not. It’s a means to keep the hair they have on their head.

I agree. These women probably find it convenient to wear weaves in order to maintain healthy hair instead of it being transformed every time an event occurs (i.e. something as simple as a photo shoot in the day to an awards event that same night). However, it would be nice to see them rock their natural hair more often as a way to offset mainstream cultural aspects of beauty. I definitely had to give kudos to Viola Davis for sporting her natural at the Oscars this year.

If I were a celebrity and proud of my natural hair I’d wear it outside, like Corrine Bailey Rae, Esperanza Spaulding, Solange, Jill Scott and any other number of women do when they’re off the clock, so to speak. Naomie Harris, Grace Jones, Halle Berry – black women with natural hair all good enough for James Bond.

What these undercover naturals are telling our daughters that red carpet=straight and natural hair is best kept in the bathroom and the basement.

Why the ugly facial expressions when taking a photo with your natural hair? You’re smiling when it’s smooth and straight then making an ugly face when it’s natural as if to say you’re ugly. It’s annoying. (Keke Palmer and others I’ve seen not mentioned here have done this ugly facial expression natural hair selfie thing).
